Revision of the Two-Dimensional Mood Scale in Chinese Adults
Objective:The aim of the current study is to revise the two-dimensional mood scale(TDMS)in Chinese adults and test its reliability,validity and measurement equivalence.Methods:Using convenient sampling,492 Chinese adults completed the two-dimensional mood scale and the profile of mood states-short form(POMS-SF).Furthermore,50 undergraduates completed the two-dimensional mood scale and the criteria questionnaire after 15-minutes moderate inten-sity running.Results:Item analysis showed that the item-total correlations were significant(r=0.881～0.968,P＜0.001),in-dicating that the items of the two-dimensional mood scale had good differentiation.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the first-order correlation model fitted well(x2/df=4.720,RMSEA=0.090,CFI=0.962,TLI=0.925,SRMR=0.031),and the factor loads ranged from 0.612 to 0.952,which showed that the four-dimension structure of the scale was clear.Moreover,the two-dimensional mood scale showed good discriminative validity and criterion-related validity.Reliability analysis showed that the reliability of the subscales of the scale was acceptable(α=0.728～0.933).Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis found that the scale had cross-gender and cross-age equivalence.Conclusion:All findings show that this Chinese version of the two-dimensional mood scale has good psychometric characteristics and can be used as an effective measure-ment to capture the momentary mood states of Chinese adults.
